    Automatic Transmission

    The auto transmission has problem with 1st and 2nd gear. When car moves slowly at 20 miles or less, a rough down shift starts from the 2nd gear to 1st gear that makes car jerking. Took it back to a honda dealer for a check but they could not duplicate the problem. The problem still randomly shows up when car is driven in the 25 miles/h zone.
